1 John 3:18 in Context — 1 John 3
16 Nous avons connu l’amour, en ce qu’il a donné sa vie pour nous; nous aussi, nous devons donner notre vie pour les frères.
17 Si quelqu’un possède les biens du monde, et que, voyant son frère dans le besoin, il lui ferme ses entrailles, comment l’amour de Dieu demeure-t-il en lui?
18 Petits enfants, n’aimons pas en paroles et avec la langue, mais en actions et avec vérité.
19 Par là nous connaîtrons que nous sommes de la vérité, et nous rassurerons nos cœurs devant lui;
20 car si notre cœur nous condamne, Dieu est plus grand que notre cœur, et il connaît toutes choses.
